Anacely Olmedo of El Salvador shared her lovely
copper and turquoise pendant tutorial over on her blog,
Fradany. It is a wonderful combination of the popular wirewrapped briolette flower style combined with a hammered flower wire frame and bail.
The blog post is in Spanish but it is actually more of a pictorial so most of the steps are illustrated. She doesn't show the attachment of the briolette flower to the frame. I would guess you wire it to the frame as you make the briolette flower.

She uses ammonia to patinate the copper. Note, the piece is not dipped in ammonia but hung over a small amount of the stinky stuff in a jar. Be careful not to inhale ammonia. Best alternative is Gun Blue - no smell, no hassle.
